Gracious! What a combination
What has a "finger of fire" got TO dc
with: the "hand of healing"? andwhal
have either of them got to do with the
devoted head of the editor of the REG
IsTER? and what have all of them got
to do with the action of the w. c. T.

saints in heaven and from temperance
lecturers to newspapers at q rate that
is perfectly bewildering.
The good judgment of the commit.
tee having charge of the Memorial ser
vices in deciding to have the address
delivered from the band stand in the
city park instead of at the cemetery, is
to be commended. There are doubtless
large number of people, ladies partic.
ularly, who are anxious to attend the
exercises but who would shrink from
the exhausting walk to the cemetery
Besides it is usually very hot on Me-
mortal Day, or it is raining; and under
either condition it will add much to the
general comfort to be near shelter. OF
course 1.-The fact that the address is
delivered in the park, will not prevent
any who may wish to do so from &C
companying the procession to the
cemetery after the address is conclud-

impressive ceremonies of the Post
there.

ground. The first picnic held there
will be the Fourth of July celebration.

steadily forward. The grove secured
is one of the finest in this vicinity. 1t
lies directly on the river bank, is close
to town and is large enough to accom-
MEDIATE thousands. It will be reached
by following the road that led to the
old Davis mill until point opposite
the grove is reached from which a
road will be opened across the small
intervening field, also leased by the
Post.
Professor A. s. Olin, principal of the lola
schools, has been called to the chair, of English

Olin, of the State Agricultural College, and is
known as an energetic and progressive member
of the profession throughout the State. We

The call mentioned in the above item
is the same that we alluded to some
weeks ago. We.can only repeat now
what we said then-regrets that the
Professor is to leave lola; congratula-
tions that he has been called up
higher.
We hope that after trying it q year
McCook Post will be SO well pleased
with their contract Cor the lease of the
Freeman grove that they will renew
the lease for long term of years. lola
has needed picnic ground for a long
time, and no better one could be desir-
ed than this grove will be ifa very lit
tie work and money is expended in
fixing it up. In few years more our
city park will serve all purposes but in
the meantime we ought to have place
where We could invite all our friends.
